Hey there.
Cant believe another week flew
by. Is anyone else a little concerned with how fast this is all going? No?
Because I am.
This week we had 9 non members
at the church building on Sunday. And none in sacrament meeting. Lame. We had 6
investigator young women at the church making brownies though, and that made me sooooo
happy! The choros [elders] invited some young men, but they didn't show, so basically the choros
just taught the yw how to make brownies. It was really great. We wished we had
more members there but when we did the church tour, we were so so grateful for
the two members that were there. I've never wanted so badly to bring everyone we
teach to church. I want the ward to feel the hope I feel, the dendo excitement
that I feel. There are so many great young people who are ready to hear the
gospel! We just need to keep teaching, finding, and leading them to
church.
Still inviting everybody and
anybody to church on the 28th.
The baptism dates we had for the
13th didn't make it. Mom is still smoking 2 packs a day so...please pray for
her. But we made new dates and we are going to try to help them prepare by
then.
One investigator is practically
a member. She came to the RS activity, brought flowers to a funeral of a person
she didn't even know, and came to RS and participated. its great.
Law Shimai is awesome. She always
gives me new perspective and talks me into or out of things. So grateful for
her.
Had an incredible lesson with
an NA [non-active]. She prayed in the genkan [front entryway of the house] with us and she offered it! Probably the first
time in a long time. Totally felt the spirit and Law Shimai and I couldn't stop
beaming/laughing/rejoicing after we left.
Missionaries are the same
everywhere. I read Akisha`s email about looking at a rainbow and remembering
that God always keeps His promises. Law Shimai and I had that exact same experience
this week looking at a double rainbow. Heavenly Father will never ever let us
down. He is always there for us, always will be.
I love this work. I love
missionary life. I love this ward. I love Jesus Christ. I love the Book of
Mormon.
Love you all! Have another
great week!

This is
what riding home in the dark with awesome earrings looks like. An investigator
gave them to us.
